I don't feel behind compared to any time in my career. My first month is always slow until I start playing back-to-back games and stuff. Once I'm at 100 at-bats, everything will be clicking.
It's a little empty. I fought so hard my whole career to get here, and the year I'm not able to play we're here. I'm just really happy for the team, though. This is a special moment in the game and you can always cherish this moment because you never know when it's going to happen again.
He was saying how loaded this team is and how tough it is finding at-bats for everyone. The guy who's swinging the hot bat will probably decide things a lot, but I told him that playing two out of every three games or something like that is fine with me. Whatever he needs to do to keep guys fresh.
I relished the '58 game because I was voted in by my peers. I think that age will always go down as the greatest era in baseball history.
I just don't feel like I'm old. I still feel like I've got a lot of years, a lot to give in this game, and I'm able to do it because I love to work.
I send him a list of the cards I need.
I see the same exact type of team. Great closer. Great starting pitching every night. Great core of hitters. Can score runs every night.
Everything is working out well right now. I just can't do what I used to do. I'm not going to run just to be running. I'm not going to continue to pound the thing in and let it flare up. I'll do what's necessary.
I've always said great things about the fans. I love the fans. They did a lot for me over a 16-year period. They gave me a lot of love and respect and that's never going to change.
That would be a tremendous career achievement. If batter does that, he enters one of the elite groups of baseball.
Like I've always said, it's all about timing. I'm ready now. I feel comfortable. It's close. It was good to see a little more movement on the ball.
It feels real good to do what I do. That's why I was happy in there. I'm very encouraged.
I think he's become a better pitcher. He really concentrates on spots more than just blowing you away.
You know, it was a heated discussion. Lasted for a while. But, I think everything that needs to be said was said.
